THE KIND OF WIFE HE WANTS

You say you demand the noblest
type of useful womanhood in your
wife. If that is the sort of woman
you want, marry Nora Mulligan. your
laundress' daughter. She wears cow
hide shoes, is guiltless of corsets, never
had a sick day in her life, takes in
washing, goes out housekeeping, and
cooks for a family of children,
her mother, and three section men
who board with her. [ don't think
she would marry you, because Con
Raglan, the track walker, is her style
of a man. Let us just examine into
your qualifications as a husband after
your own matrimonial ideas, my boy.
Can you shoulder a barrel of -four
and carry it down to the cellar? Can
you saw and split ten cords of hick-
DRY wood in the fall so as to have
ready fuel for all winter? Can you
spade up half an acre of ground for a
kitchen garden !? Do you know what
will take the limy taste out of a new
%cistern, and can you patch the little
leak in the kitchen roof? Can you
bring home a pane of glass and a wad
of putty and repair damages in the
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1887-04-14

sitting-room window? Can you hang
some cheap paper on the kitchen ?
Can you fix the front gate so it will
not bag Can youdo anything about
the house that Con Raglan can My
dear boy, you see why Nora Mulligan
will have none of you ); she wants a
higher type of manhood. You expect
to hire men to do all the mans work,
about the house, but you want your
wife to do everything that any woman
can do. Believe me, my dear son,
nine-tenths of the girls who play the
piano and sing so charmingly, whom
you in your limited knowledge set
down as "mere butterflies of fashion,"
are better fitted for wives than you
are for a husband. If you want to
marry a first-class cook and expe-
rienced housekeeper, do your counting
in the intelligence Office. But if you
want a wife, marry the girl you love,
with pimpled hands and a face like the
sunlight, and her love will teach her
all these things, my boy, long before
you have learned one-half of your
own lessons.

The proprietor has for many years
visited the leading Nurseries North
and West and correspondent with those
of foreign countries, gathering every
fruit that was calculated to suit the
South, both native and foreign. The
reputation of Pomona Hill Nurseries
is such that many agents going out
from Greensboro, representing other
nurseries, try to leave the impression
that they are representing these nur-
series. Why do they do it? Let the

LABOR

The thinker must work and the worker must think
For both go hand in hand.
And the smithy's stroke and the drop of ink
Make the Drawn and brain of the land.
Oh, you at your forge and you at your books,
Be both with your implements striving
To uplift from the dust the kingdom of man
To a higher and holier living.
For the man that tolls and the man that thinks
Must work now, shoulder to shoulder.
All labor is holy, if honest it be,
The world has grown wiser and older.
When we lift the man at the desk we lift
The laborer at the pillow.
When from one q measure of wrong we sift,
Two measures are sifted somehow!
-JOseph Dana Wer.

TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN.

We, the undersigned citizens Of Forsyth
and adjoining counties, having each pur-
chased of the statesmen of the Wrought
Iron Range Company, of St. Louis, Mo-,
one of their celebrated Home Comfort
Cooking Ranges, take pleasure in recon-
mending them to our friends and neigh
bors. Having given them a fair trial, we
pronounce them a grand success and in
every respect as good as represented by
the statesmen. We are perfectly satisfied
with our purchase. We believe them to
be superior in every way to cast iron
stoves and in the long run much the
cheapest. In addition to their good
baking qualities and economy Of fuel,
they furnish the greatest abundance OF
hot water, which is a very great conven-
fence. In conclusion will say, buy a
Home Comfort Range and we will guar
antee you will nc regret the purchase.
Very respectfully,
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1887-04-14

offers the most liberal rates to clubs.
Write us for terms and blank forms.
Every farmer in the State should have
it in his house. The wife, the daughter,
the son and the father, should read

MAN AND HIS SHOES.

How much a man is like his shoes!
For instance, both a soul may lose;
Both have been tanned; both are made tight
By cobblers; both get left and right.
Both need a mate to be complete;
And both are made to go. on feet.
They both need healing; oft are sold,
And both in time will turn to mould.
With shoes the last is first; with men
TIL first hall be the last; and when
Thu shoes wear out they're mended new;
When men wear out they're dead too!
They both are trOd upon, and both
Will tread on others, nothing 10th.
Both have their ties. and both incline,
When polished, in the world to shine;
And both peg out. Now, would you choose
To be a man or be his shoes3

Lane, Raleiegh's governor in Virginia,
first introduced tobacco into England.
He had learned to smoke it and taught
Raleigh. When the servant Of the latter
first saw his master enveloped in tobacco
smoke, supposing him to be on fire, he
dashed a pail of water over him. Raleigh
taught Queen Elizabeth to smoke.
One thousand pounds of dry corn-cobs
will burn down to four and a half pounds
Of ash, and Of this two pounds and a half
will be pure potash. The fact that COWS
often like corn-cobs may be due to the
potash they contain, and which may serve
to correct disordered digestion. Corn-cobs
also contain about two pounds of nitrogen
to 1000 of dry cobs, but this is, of course,
lost by burning.
The air permeates all soils unless filed
with stagnant water. IF there is motion
in the water through the soil it is evidence
that some air was present even there. All
soils except pure sand absorb and retain
fertilizing properties from the atmosphere,
though heavy and loamy soils do this
most. When the country was new it
was noticed that fever and ague developed
from malaria was worst on sandy soils,
though they were generally dry, and the
malaria itself was most apt to originate
on low, wet lands where there is an abun-
dance of d~ecaying vegetation.
In England the law likes the amount a
candidate may spend at an election, or
which may be spent in his behalf, and the
objects on which he may spend it; and
compels him to file an account of the
same, with vouchers, and swear to it,
within thirty-fve days after the election;
and the punishment in case of perjury is
eve years penal servitude, in addition
to other disabilities for corruption, such
as Acknowledgement and in%eligibility for
Office for a definite period. If we had a
law of that kind in force in this country,
many public functionaries would not be
where they now are.-FdTmers World.
